No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Hi Connie, I can tell you both Blenko and Erickson ground and polished their pontils. On our site we have a button on the bottom of the page in "colors" that shows the ground and polished pontils of Blenko pieces. We are still under construction and will be adding the pictures of the entire pieces to show the piece and pontil. Hopefully soon, at any rate both Blenko and Erickson were American companies.

I'm sorry just to clarify... I meant they ground and polished their bases. Both ground and polished their pontils and then many pieces had ground and polished bases. Both can been seen on the blenkocollectors.com site.

I have sold many pieces of Blenko and have never had one with a cut and polished base that I can recall. Yes, with a polished pontil, rough pontil or of the course, the water bottle with no pontil mark.

Frank I don't understand......??Your link directs one to the unresolved glass. None of the first 4 pages (hadn't the energy to go through any more) of which are on my wish list. However, I did raise one old thread m

It did and I am quite happy to trawl through old threads, I enjoy it and more so if I can help....however :bsh: to those who either did not upload a picture on the board, or have deleted their pics....I get really annoyed as the information is wasted without the pictures :grrr:m
